Low share of SME with only 5% share is depicting potential areas to be exploited particularly SME which is being ignored by the overall Islamic banking industry. However given a sizeable share of trade related financing in SME sector, enormous opportunities for expansion are available to Islamic banks.

Financing towards Small and Medium enterprises has been declining since 2008 as banks being risk averse; however, SME sector’s outstanding advances recorded a rise from the beginning of year 2012. Major focus has been on short term financing with average loan size of Rs. 4 1 million for working capital needs, an inherent characteristics of SMEs whereas medium and long term financing recorded with Rs. 0.9 million and Rs. 0.5 million respectively.
